NELA Welcomes Me Home
This month marks what would be my sixth year living in the same apartment building in Koreatown–would. As I mentioned previously, I moved to Northeast Los Angeles a few weeks ago. It was a spontaneous move, but it was the right one. I lived in a 1930’s block apartment off of 3rd and Normandie. It […]
Something is About to Go Down
I was wondering what that rumbling noise was as I was getting ready for work. Turns out, it’s several helicopters holding position over the Koreatown sky. What is going on? Or should I say, what is about to go down? Anyone in the K-Town area, let me know if you see anything strange throughout the […]

Surf’s up, brah!
For the past year, I’ve been working evenings and Saturdays at my corporate job. It worked out pretty well with my lifestyle. I enjoyed being able to wake up without an alarm and enjoy a workout and breakfast every morning without rushing. Sure, I missed out on beach days and BBQs on Saturdays, but it […]
